Slattery's has reopened its chocolate shop and bakery with 'lockdown boxes'

Beloved Whitefield chocolate shop Slattery's has reopened its doors for collection and delivery orders.

The family-owned cafe and bakery has launched lockdown boxes, each filled with various sweet treats such as cakes, chocolates, and even wine.

The boxes can be ordered for delivery, or can be collected from the cafe on Bury New Road - social distancing measures have been put in place in the car park.

The Stay Home Treats, which can be ordered through the Slattery website, include a cream tea box that comes with four scones, jam and cream, chocolate-dipped strawberries, Slattery milk chocolate buttons, and a selection of six mini cakes.

You can also order a hot chocolate selection box, which comes with a selection of hot chocolate stirrers, marshmallows, and chocolate discs to recreate your own Slattery experience at home.

Bottles of wine, decorated chocolate celebration lollies and flour can all be added as extras for delivery or collection.

There's also a 'mystery box' for £10, filled with assorted items worth £25 in total.

Slattery has posted a map of its delivery zones, which covers parts of Oldham, Bury, Bolton, Rochdale and north Manchester.

Fans of the cafe have expressed delight at being able to get their hands on Slattery treats again after it closed at the end of March, for the first time in over 50 years.

Those who have already received lockdown boxes have described them as 'outstanding' and 'heavenly'.

The outside of the shop remains boarded up for the time being, as cafes, restaurants and bars remain shuttered during the UK's lockdown.
